Paul: It is great to have another in the family.

The 350 has made it to Syracuse, New York. Miles to go before I sleep.

This is maddening!!!

All together now: "The wai-ai-ting is the hardest part."

The most interestng part for me is that it was in Canada early on only to go back to the US again.

Can you actually blame us if we don't want to let that beautiful guitar out of the country???


Hope you get it soonly...

I just hope your guitar isn't delivered by this guy.........

Thanks for the pins and needles, Rob.

Good news we are now at Lachine, Quebec. The earlier entry was for data processing purposes only. Now cleared Customs things look good.

No need to worry about the UPS man Peter, but Paul did tell me that these guys had a go with your guitar before it was sent on to you.

I got a call from UPS at 8 this morning...the Gravel Gertie they had speaking to me, asked me why it had such a high declared value. UPS had entered the same value for the guitar and also for the case on their own customs declaration form, so it was showing 2X the actual value, which matters little, because it was labeled "Canadian Goods Returning".

I'm curious about that "Canadian Goods Returning" thing. Maybe they welcome it back like this?

I started to stand up for that Paul.... and then sat down again.

Project X may arrive a day early and thankfully during a bit of a heat wave (above freezing temperatures) here.

By way of brief and incomplete comparison here is the Model 350 as I initially received it and how it looks today, a decade later.

Wow! Even the background looks much nicer! Amazing landscaping, Paul.

You and the Sherry are welcome to enjoy it anytime you're in town, Jeff!

Perhaps later next year!
